Guys, dont you think that the sixaxis on the ps3 is a bit well...lame? I mean, dont get me wrong, im not one to criticize is too much as i dont have that many games, but for every game I have, i believe i have only used it a couple of times, and that was in resistance fom. I just think theres little use to it. What do you guys think?

well you obviously havn't played...

yeah its useless, it's ok in Flower though

Yeah, pointless.

Sony knows this, so they adopted the new slogan:Don't just imitate the competition, steal their ideas entirely!

Yes I agree, i think they should of either scrapped it, or used it more, unless other games that i dont own utilize it better

Lol Scianix :P

I'm a big fan of motion controls, and I love how at some points in some games you have to use it.

I wish they did that in more games.

Who cares? It's there, you have a choice to use it, it's a bonus! Stop moaning.

I find it a very clever feature. It puts a little wii effect and is an option. You don't HAVE to use it. Its just good if you do (:

Yeah, pointless. It could be used effectively, but the game developers either aren't interested in it or implement it in some lame way.

Six axis. Is an option. Some people want it. Including me.

Have you ever played Heavenly Sword?

GREAT use of sixaxis!

I don't really care about it. If I need it, it's there for me to use.

If the six-axis works like its suppose to, I use it. I always used the six-axis for backwards jumping in Uncharted but in Uncharted 2 it didn't work as good.

Play Heavenly Sword! U'll grow insane because of it! :PKleeyook

God gawd dont bring that game up. I played for a little, then just stopped cuz i grew mad trying to aim the arrows/boulders/whatever. Plus the characters disturb me...

It was pretty cool head-banging at LBP, and err.. that's about it :|.

I loved it in Tools of Destruction!

Geo-Laser, Hacking with the Decrypter, Controlling a Physics based Tornado!

THIS^

also Dark Sector is a game that has good use of the sixaxis. shooting free throws on nba 2k7 was fun too. just depends on the game. most have just implemented it poorly or not at all. but trust me it can make a game alot more fun or frustrating. like flying the copters in gta4.

Play Heavenly Sword! U'll grow insane because of it! :PKleeyook

it is pointless but it is fun to use once in a while in some parts of some games, like killzone 2.

Yeah, pointless.

Scianix-Black

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

^ dont be rude Scianix could just be saying they might of copied wii's idea of motion controllers, but adapted it for the ps3 controller..

Who cares? It's there, you have a choice to use it, it's a bonus! Stop moaning.

CBR600-RR

It's decent in Mirror's Edge.

i use it for granades in unchartedmep69

Yeah, i think its more fun doing it that way.

useless pretty much sums it up.

Yeah, pointless.

The reason behind the sixaxis being "lame" is because game developers simply do not incorporate its use into their games. Or if they do, most do not do a very good job at it. When it is done properly, it works like a charm and fun to use; see Heavenly Sword as well as Folklore.

I believe that Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (whatever the ****ing title is) uses the sixaxis to control the female character's breasts. Other than that, I haven't even heard of any other real use for it.

sisxaxis spelt backwards is sixaxis:P

but yeah it does feel tacked on

Why are you guys saying we dont have to use it, yes we do i couldnt have beat certain games without it. I actually liked it in folklore though.

Well I honestly wouldn't want sixaxis to play a huge role in my video games. I liked using it in resistance to shake off air-grenades or in the first uncharted when you used it to balance yourself when walking across a fallen tree trunk or something. The little things are good; they're effective implemented but not overpowerful.

Folklore, Toy Home, Ratchet and Clank, and Flower use it well. Every game is multiplat now, so developers do not use it properly.

I love the sixaxis in COD3, for punching nazis, you have to pull on one side the controller to punch, i love that.

It definitely should not have taken this long for someone to mention folklore. posts already got to the 2nd page.

Folklore is one of the only games I've played where i actually liked using the SIXAXIS.

yea the sixxxis failed hard. and know what nathal and the ew mothion ps3 controller comming out in 2010 will fail aswell. if we want to jump around while playing games we woulda bought a wii LOL

It's stupid, They should just focus with the rumble and if you think about it, they kind of already have dropped the sixaxis thing. reubendarosa

Short answer, yes. The biggest PS3 exclusive game this year didn't even use it, Uncharted 2, unless I didn't know about it. And the biggest multiplat game this year probably won't use it, Modern Warfare 2.

Someone mentioned the sixaxis controller being used in KZ2, but I don't recall quite where it came into play. For seriously good use, Heavenly Sword's character Kai and her crossbow is the best I've seen. I ended up replaying her sections of the game dozens of times, much more than I ever did the main characters sections. A similar, but not as extensive, use was in Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction where tilting the controller guided an airborn Ratchet through a serious of guiding circles while he was flying, and to a lesser amount, when he was doing "HALO" sky dives in various locations.

Many games may have a sort of "after-thought" or "tacked on" feel to their sixaxis aspect, but a few really do make it work.

I think that in some games it adds to the intensity. ( KZ2, Motor Storm PR, Uncharted and a few others)
